It may only have been a point but it felt like a great result for Hull City last night as the Tigers drew 0-0 with Championship leaders Norwich City at the KCOM Stadium.

City may not have looked like threatening too much, but Norwich were themselves limited to few chances with little between the sides, unlike what the league table suggests. It was a good point for the Tigers, who are back to within goal difference of safety.

How the result will be viewed long term will no doubt be viewed better following the next two away games, starting at Queens Park Rangers on Saturday. We'll have more reaction to last night's match, we'll start to look ahead to the trip to London at the weekend and we'll also have the latest from across the Championship in our live blog below.

As such, Batty was forced to watch on from the sidelines on Tuesday evening as Hull City held league leaders Norwich to a 0-0 draw at the KCOM Stadium.

However, alongside Fraizer Campbell, who missed the visit of the Canaries through suspension, Adkins is hopeful the 20-year-old will be able to shake off his problem in time for the trip to Loftus Road.

What we learned from Norwich stalemate

Hull City held league leaders Norwich City to a 0-0 draw on Tuesday night to move within goal difference of survival.

Here’s what we learned.

Kevin Stewart redeems himself

The midfielder has certainly come in for some stick for his performances in black and amber as he struggles to nail down a spot in the side after a number of lacklustre performances

Arriving last season from Liverpool for a well-documented £4m, it’s fair to say Stewart’s time in East Yorkshire has been frustrating at best. However, while plenty grumbled after seeing his name on the teamsheet, Stewart more than proved his worth with an excellent performance against Norwich City.

Stewart has often struggled with the physical side of the game, being outmuscled and walked over through the middle of the park, but on Tuesday night Stewart turned into the bully.

Torino keen to sign former Hull City defender Ola Aina in £7m deal

Torino are contemplating spending £7million to sign Chelsea and former Hull Citydefender Ola Aina, according to reports.

Aina made 46 appearances for the Tigers in all competitions while on loan from Stamford Bridge last season, helping the club avoid relegation from the Championship.

However, with first-team opportunities proving hard to come by in west London, Aina made the loan switch to Italian outfit Torino in the summer and by all accounts he has impressed.

In fact, the Nigeria international has settled in so well in Serie A that the club are already keen on making Aina a permanent addition to the squad, after just three months.

A good point

When Hull City produced a comeback like no other witnessed at the KCOM Stadium to beat Norwich City in March, it was the catalyst for a decisive late burst towards Championship survival.

There was much less cause for celebration when the teams shared the points last night but Nigel Adkins will hope it was another fixture capable of turning an alarming tide.

This certainly lacked the compelling drama of the previous meeting, when City rallied from 3-1 down to win 4-3, yet the point made was equally impressive.

Halting Norwich’s run of six straight victories with a dogged performance most thought was beyond the Tigers after a tame defeat to Nottingham Forest at the weekend, Nigel Adkins’ side showed they are still up for the fight at the foot of the Championship.

A City team down to its bare bones showed commitment and application in abundance. They lacked the attacking quality to produce a genuine upset and rode their luck when Tom Trybull sent the game’s one gilt-edged chance wide, but none could begrudge Adkins’ men their 17th point of this trying season.
